I Have a Question
This might be one of the most incredible vintage hats I have ever had in the shop. This is by Christian Dior and it is absolutely wonderful and so very unique. The base is a fine ivory felted wool and the crown of the hat is high and rounded. It then curves softly down to a small brim. Over this is a wide banding of a gold metallic mesh fabric that curves around the base of the crown. Attached to that are hundreds of hand placed white feathers. Each of these feathers has been hand dipped in gold at their edges and then they have been carefully placed atop each other. The have all been placed in the same direction so that as the thickness of them is built up they softly curl over each other. Just the work to hand dip and then select the feathers based on the right size and shape would have taken hours and hours. The hat is soft but with a shaped crown and not so soft that it is floppy. It feels very chic and modern and is a remarkable example of the work that Dior was doing in this time period. Excellent condition

Cruise 2011 Christian Dior by John Galliano Runway Look 43 Pink Silk Chiffon Dress
I Have a Question
- Its twin walked the runway for Look 43 for the Cruise 2011 Dior show.
- Made under the creative direction of John Galliano
- The show was shown in Shanghai that season and Galliano chose not to do very specific references to Shanghai. He said at the time that he was more trying to "capture the feeling of Paris in its heyday" which was what he said he felt happening in Shanghai at that time.
- This was an outstanding look in the show and was one in a series of the closing looks.
- The dress is made of a deep muted pink silk chiffon and has nod to the 1960s in its design.
- A layer of silk chiffon that is heavily detailed with hand, beading, sequins and prong set pink rhinestones floats over a inner more fitted silk interior. The neckline is scooped wide across and then the back dips into a shallow V.
- The sleeves are a single layer of the chiffon and flare out at their ends. They are detailed all the way down to match the bodice.
- The interior dress closes with a hidden side set zipper and then the silk top layer that floats over it snaps along the edge of the waist at the back. A little strap floats across to connect the two sides and there is a highly detailed bow that sits off side at the back topping a gathering f the silk in the skirt.
- Another highly detailed bow sits at the centre of the front waist and I love how these two bows give the dress such a feminine and romantic touch.
- The dress falls from there to the floor with a top layer of chiffon floating over an inner silk skirt. It widen out just a touch at the hem.
- The inner silk portion of the dress has its own lining of a matching silk.
- The pink is a slightly different shade in person than how it photoed
- There is no size tag present so please reference the measurements below. It is slim fitting through the hips.

Late 1960s-70s Christian Dior by Marc Bohan Floral Print Cotton Smock Dress
I Have a Question
- This exceptional dress is by Marc Bohan for Christian Dior and it is a wonderful example of his work during this time period.
- This best matches the work that he was doing from about 1969 to 1972 when he was doing these wonderful dresses. We found a similar one to this with variations on the print that this dress has and I have included it so that you can see how perfectly this will drape and fall on the body.
- It is a very easy and comfortable dress to wear
- The dress is made from a cotton that has a pretty floral print that covers the entire dress.
- The neckline is set high and detailed with a black cotton collar that extends down the front and buttons to about the waist area.
- Under that the bodice is meant to skim over you to fall loose and easy over the natural waist and then the skirt billows out from under that to the floor.
- The sleeves are set into the shoulder with slight gathers and they have a more full cut that balloons out over the wrists. At their ends they are edged with that same black fabric that sits around the collar and this extends out and tie into pretty bows around the wrist.
- The dress comes with its matching tie belt in the same fabric so you can wear it loose and easy or cinch in the waist for shape.
- Once on the body the entire dress has this stunning movement and yet feels minimalist and elegant.
- Unlined and slips over the head to wear. The front buttons up to about the waist and each sleeve ties with attached ties. The belt is original to the dress.
- Tagged a vintage Dior 12 and the easy cut should allow it to fit a range of sizes.
- Excellent condition
Sleeves: 25" and are 13" around the upper arm
Slightly inset shoulders: 14.5"
Bust: to 20" flat across from side seam to side seam
Waist: to 17" flat across from side seam to side seam and then you use the tie belt to cinch it in as much as you need

Spring 2008 Christian Dior by John Galliano Runway Look 33 Pale Pink Jacket & Bias Cut Skirt Suit Set
I Have a Question
- The near twin of the set walked the runway for the Spring 2008 show for Look 33
- Made under the creative direction of John Galliano
- The Spring 2008 show coincided with John Galliano's tenth year with the label and it was Dior's 60th year as a label. John celebrated that by creating pieces based on some of his signature looks through the past decade.
- It is a set that could perhaps be worn by a bride who is looking for a non-traditional dress or as part of her wedding weekend. It is also an exceptional set for any event and for the Dior collector.
- Both pieces are a pale pink. The jacket is made out of a crepe with a slight texture and the skirt is done in one of his signature bias cuts with a silk like finish.
- The jacket has soft rounded shoulders. It is brought in at the waist and then the hips curve back out for an hourglass feel. I love the detail with the rhinestones and beads that sit at the front of each shoulder and bring the sides out and back. This is a string nod to pieces from the 1940s. On the back of either hip there is a similar detailing that creates a little bit of a swag and detail at the back of the jacket.
- The skirt is completely cut on the bias and the bottom has inset panels to give it a pretty fluted feel. It has beautiful movement as you move.
- Both pieces are fully lined in a pink silk. The jacket buttons to close at the front with fabric covered buttons. The skirt closes with a hidden set side zipper set beside the row of buttons down the side. Light padding in each shoulder
- Both pieces are tagged a FR38, GB10, IT42, US6.
- I see a couple of very faint tiny marks on the skirt otherwise excellent condition

I Have a Question
- From the Cruise 2011 show. You can see a dress with similar front design details on Look 26 in the show
- Under the creative direction of John Galliano
- The show was shown in Shanghai that season. The red used for this dress and the single red dress in the show were a nod to the country, but overall Galliano chose not to do very specific references to Shanghai.

- Made from a muted red silk crepe chiffon that has a little bit of texture to it
- Wide straps curve up and around the neck and then extend into panels that cover your front and wrap around to the back.
- The neckline has a bit of a plunge at the front and the entire upper back is left bare.
- The silk is gathered down the front of the dress and is held in place by little horizontal ruffles of the same silk chiffon. The pleat work narrows down to a point at the waist.
- The silk of the skirt is gathered up and into the centre point of the bodice and I love the extra detail this creates. The bottom skirt is quite full and widens out as it nears the hem.
- There is a slit that runs up the top layer of the skirt and this helps to creates beautiful movement as you walk.
- Buttons are spaced down the side in his signature tightly spaced fabric covered buttons and loops and these hide a hidden set zipper.
- Fully lined in a red silk
- Tagged a Dior FR36, GB8, IT40, US4
